In the history of North American film, the fastest breakthrough is 100 million, 200 million... Until 400 million! 500 million“ The "Jurassic world" has been constantly setting new historical records with the attitude of destroying the withered and decaying. In just 15 days, it has successfully crossed the threshold of 500 million and raced to the height of 600 million.
In just 24 days, "Jurassic world" has become the fifth film in North American film history to break the 600 million box office barrier. The previous four parts, namely "Avatar", "Titanic", "Avengers" and "gravity", have now ushered in the fifth member, making up the top of the pyramid.
In addition, the most remarkable thing is that "Avatar", "Titanic" and "gravity" are all original works, not sequels or copyrights, which is just opposite to the overall industry trend of Hollywood; Even though the previous series of "Avengers alliance" and "Jurassic world" have been fully prepared for a long time, as far as the film itself is concerned, it is also a brand new work, rather than sequels such as "so and so 2" and "XX3".
This also shows that the sequel film can be built on an assembly line, continuing the way of making money of the film company; But what the market is really willing to pay for is still the original idea. On the contrary, it is difficult for sequels to reach such a high level - contrary to the industrial operation of film companies, the market gives different answers.
Furthermore, DreamWorks, Lion Gate pictures, A24 pictures, Sisyphus pictures and other small companies started from independent films and then developed a world. They still have a huge living space. Even if Disney and Warner Brothers join hands, they can not completely empty the market.
Of course, the "Jurassic world" in the eyes of large Hollywood film companies is another scene. Obviously, it's not original, but sequel series and assembly line works. This has strengthened their determination to pay attention to copyright, flow production and film commercialization. The only exception is:
Langley hall.
After "gravity", Langley has his second 600 million North American works, which makes him comparable to James Cameron——
The two box office winners of film history give James the opportunity to mobilize one billion dollars to shoot the "Avatar" five series, which even Steven Spielberg did not have. Even within Hollywood, James's position and power are always in the forefront, even detached.
Now, Langley is on a par with James.
In February, there were two Oscars; In May, Cannes received two letters; In June, there were 620 million letters in North America. The first half of 2015 belongs to the unique lanli.
Objectively speaking, "Langley makes history" is no longer news. This is an actor who is destined to rewrite the history of North American films. No matter his age or historical data, everything is constantly recording; Nevertheless, the first half of the year is still a myth.
It's even crazier than making ego at a young age!
When the premiere weekend of "Jurassic world" broke out with a peak of 230 million, many people exclaimed that the 400 million feats in North America for four consecutive years were enough to make Langley famous and go down in history - although his name had been recorded in the history of North American films for a long time.
But just four weeks later, people began to explore the possibility of "800 million in North America"?
This is crazy!
Since "Star Wars" created a new high ground in history and won 400 million box office in North America in 1977, the North American market has gone through ups and downs in just 40 years, reaching 600 million in North America of "Titanic". This journey has taken 20 years; It took another 12 years to reach 700 million people in North America; Now only six years, will North America enter the next stage and challenge 800 million?
All American attention!
We are looking forward to it!
be full of excitement!
However, calm down and think seriously:
Once everyone thought that "100 million a day" was an impossible task, but "Jurassic world" was easily achieved; Now, many people think that the era of "800 million in North America" has not yet come, but the audience has given a different answer. So, who is the right one?
"Many audiences have misunderstandings about performance. In my opinion, performance is not only a deductive interpretation, but also an understanding and integration. Even if it's a popcorn movie, not every actor can adapt to every role. That's why casting directors must exist. "
In an interview with us weekly, Steven Spielberg expressed such a position when answering the question about "whether Langley made the Jurassic world.".
"The excellence and excellence of lanli lies in his ability to endow the characters with soul, including his own understanding and the extension of the plot, which are inseparable. Twenty two years ago, when I was creating Jurassic Park, I tried to turn my dream imagination into reality. Dinosaurs are the soul of the whole movie; Twenty two years later, when we recreated this story, lanli became the core of the connection between dinosaurs and reality. We tried to tell a story that dinosaurs affected real life and even changed the world. Lanli's story became possible. "
"It's an important change in the film. So, when you ask Langley if he made this movie, my answer is yes. I also believe that the box office of the film gives the best answer, not just the Jurassic world, but countless films before that have given the answer. "
When he said that, Steven laughed happily. "I look forward to Jurassic world's influence to make more people like dinosaurs and make more people dream with me. Everyone is welcome to join the ranks of film creation. Anyone can make a film. "
At the time of the interview with American weekly, the North American box office of "Jurassic world" just exceeded 500 million, far from reaching the follow-up height, but Steven was still asked about the box office expectations.
"It's not a topic I can decide, but I'm looking forward to making history with movies. When James did it, maybe Langley could do it. I'm looking forward to him accomplishing what I haven't been able to accomplish. George and I are both looking forward to Langley's being able to make James suffer. "
There's a lot of information, and only a director of Steven's level can lightly mention the big guys.
After the "Jurassic world" box office in North America exceeded 650 million, "American weekly" once again organized an exclusive interview with James Cameron.
"Sure! Yes, the answer here is 100% yes, there is no doubt
Can the "Jurassic world" box office in North America exceed 800 million? That's James' answer.
"To be honest, I have been looking forward to someone breaking this record, because the birth of the record is to wait for future generations to break it; In the past few years, the record has never been surpassed, and I encountered some technical problems in the production of the sequel to avatar, and then countless discussions never stopped. "
"I'm looking forward to breaking the box office record, because it will also prove that our film market is still dynamic, and the audience is still willing to go into the cinema to watch the attractive works on the big screen, which is of great significance to the work being done by me and my colleagues."
"If Jurassic world set this record, I would be very happy. I also believe Steven should be very happy to see this result
Then James was asked about Langley - after all, he had never worked with Langley, and of course, Langley had never worked with Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, and so on. After all, the times are different.
"In fact, I watched gravity in the cinema. I personally like lanli's performance very much. It can be seen that he can interpret his own things according to the requirements of the director and endow the role with more charm. This is undoubtedly a very rare and unique thing."
"I don't think our crew has enough budget to invite lenley to shoot, and his shooting schedule will encounter many uncertain problems. However, if there is a chance in the future, I can imagine a work like" abyss ", which should be able to give play to lenley's unique temperament. I've heard that Redley Scott is preparing to shoot the follow-up story of the blade killer, and I would strongly recommend him to talk to Langley. "
There is no politeness and no compliment. On the contrary, it reveals the real sincerity between the lines. The positive attitude of the director can also be seen from the side.
At the end of the interview, James once again affirmed, "800 million. Yes, I'm sure there should be no problem with the 800 million in North America in the Jurassic world. In fact, I think you should consider 900 million. Why not? Maybe one day, a billion dollars in a single market will be possible. We should look forward to the film. "
From Steven Spielberg to James Cameron, these film masters have expressed their views one after another and expressed their opinions in the process of interview; But what they care about is not just a record, but more the deep content represented by the record, just like the major Hollywood film companies.
However, it is undeniable that the attention of the whole United States has been focused. According to the prediction of the exhibition relationship, there is no doubt that the "Jurassic world" in North America will exceed 800 million, which also means that all audiences in North America will participate in this journey and witness the birth of history.
Everyone - literally everyone, can't wait to go to the cinema to watch the work, lest they fall behind the trend.
Then, the pace of history is getting closer and closer.
In the second week of July, "Xiao Huang's big eyes" officially appeared, also produced by Universal Pictures. It originated from the classic popular role of "God stealing father" and opened up a separate biography. Just as the "speed and passion" series is studying personal biography, this animation with an investment of only 74 million has burst out with amazing market energy relying on cute selling and comedy.
The premiere weekend is $115 million.
"Xiao Huang Da Yan Meng" won the weekend box office title, ending the "Jurassic world" championship, while Universal Pictures continued its strong performance, but the focus of attention still did not leave the "Jurassic world".
